ANNA MAY TAYLOR, 'OF SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CUTTER Application filed fiovember A. further object of my invention is to provide a fruit and vegetable cutter provided of a with a plurality of detachable cutters plurality of designs.

l attain the objects of my invention above mentioned by the devices described in the 1 annexed specifications, recited in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to the same structural parts in the several figures.

Referring to the figures,

Figure l is a side elevation showing a partial section of the tubular frame member I of my invention as well as a. partial section of one of the cutters heads secured thereto.

Fig. 2 is a vertical halt section of one of the cutter heads adapted to be screwed onto the tubular frame member.

Fig. 3 is a perspective of the tubular frame member exposing to view the threads adapted to hold the cutter heads in operative position.

Fig.4 is oblique drawing of one of the cutter heads adapted to cut french fried potatoes. a

Fig. 5 is a similar drawing of'the cutter, head adapted to core and slice applesin one stroke. T

Fig. 6 illustrates a cutter head adapted to 5o In pointing out the details of this device tion at the threads -3; said handle memcut fruit or vegetables in diamond shaped 11, 1925. Serial No. 68,293.

it will be seen that like numerals indicate like parts in the several figures.

.When a cook is preparing fruit or vegetables for cookingpurposes, it usually takes a great deal of time to pare and slice apples, pears, potatoes, and-the like, if it is done by hand with a paring knife, but with my fruit and vegetablecutter it will be foundthat a great deal of time can be saved in preparing such fruits and vegetables since after par- 59 ing it is only necessary to shove the cutter of my invention down over the fruit or vege table and in one stroke to completely slice it or in the case of apples and peers to slice it and core it all in one stroke. Referring now to the details of structure in my device: A. frame memberilis provided with a handle -2 on one end and an annular-shoulder at the base of threads --3-- on the other while a plurality of threaded. detachable cutter heads -l-5-- 6 7 and are adapted to be screwed on to tubular frame member -lin the posi- T her and said cutter head oil equal outside 5 diameter.

l be seen that it will be particularly ageous to have a group or designs of cutters for the reason that one cutter head may be used in. cutting French potatoes, Fig. it. another for slicing potatoes Fig. 8, in straight slices, another tor slicing potatoes in wavy slices, Fig. 7, and another for cutting potatoes in strips of diamond shape,

Fig. 6 while another cutter head shown in Fig. 5 has the lmivesarranged suitable for coring and slicing an apple or pear-sand the like all in one stroke.

It will bereadil seen thatto provides separate complete out t for each design of cutters and for every purpose would be expensive and otherwise objectionable, but in' my invention I provide these detachable cutter heads forknives arranged in the respective positions shown the the several figures where it will be seen that in one tg'pe of cutter head knives -9- are arrange parallelto each' other and adapted to be posltionedat right angles to a similar group 10-- oflmives by french fried potatoes may be cut.

This cutter head is shown in Figure while in Figure 6 the knives -11- are arranged in diamond shape s aced relation. with knives 12 and m 'gure a 5 central tubular knife -13-+ connects with a. plurality of radiating knives --14 whereby an apple may be cored and sliced all in one stroke.

To those skilled in the art it will beevident that other suitable arrangements of cutting knives could be made in other cutter heads but the preferred. arrangements of such knives are illustrated in the drawings and v have been herein above described. 15 Having thus described the nature of my invention whatI claim is:' a

A fruit and vegetable cutter including a cylindrical tubular frame member externally threaded at one end and provided with a shoulder at the base of the threads against which a detachable. ring of the cutter is screwed; said ring rovided with internal threads and having t e same external cylindrical dimensions as the frame member; said ring further provided internally with cuttin blades each terminating at the sharp en in the same plane as the end of the ring. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand this 1st day of October, 1925.

so ANNA MAY TAYLOR.
